What is the longest you have spent on getting one item in WoW?

LOL I know people that can do that every 9 months. Get on their level, noob! LOL no!

I have to say, I spend at least a few thousand gold a day changing my transmog for things like spec, or more recently for role playing stuff as a Warlock. I love all the completed sets I have. I have SETS made so its not a lot of time spent on transmog, just a lot of gold lol.

Much sadness. I can’t even begin to understand your loss.
Can we petition Blizzard to add it back in?

I remember back in Cata, my Hunter got shafted on her Explorer and Grand Marshall.
A lot of people never got it back because their log files on Blizzards ends had gotten deleted for several achievements. They refused to give them back to anybody who had lost it.
Also, I carried that stupid severed head in my bags for two days total lol.

What?

IF thats the one from the Timeless Isle boss drop, you are not a lone. I have a friend who is still farming it. Dude just straight camping. He has not actually PLAYED WoW since BFA launched. All he does is log on to get that mount lol.

I think rep should have been at least FACTION shared. It is still me doing all that work, so why not? I get that for some people they say it is about the immersion and role playing…but maybe make it a toggle so people can CHOOSE to share their reputation amongst their characters, or toggle it off and role play to their hearts content.

I gave up on that one.

NGL, that is funny as hell.

Spent a good,…err…hum. Month grinding for both Sulfuras and Thunderfury. Got both now and I’m quite happy with myself. :3

This is definitely a top 3 for me. Took months of just flying around doing Archaeology…

What are you confused about

Not sure if its true. I hear that mount is only avalable for the character it drops for. Shrug

The Heartbreaker rocket…aka Love Rocket got it this year finally after 12 yrs…

I don’t necessarily ‘farm’ for things, more on a whim “yeah I could go shoot for that atm.”

Maybe the rogue pants off Raggy. Tried for 3 weeks and thought to myself, this is just dumb lol.

Probably flame talon of alystrazor, it came up to a total of like 700 kills across 20-30 characters a week during bfa. I still have alts parked in front of firelands i havent moved since

Technically i’ve been after zinhrok since mop~ but it’s hard to put a time on it since i do archeology in bursts

Winterspring Frostsabre

that depends… longest time spent actively farming it on a weekly basis… 2.5 years for Pearl Inlaid Boots for my Paladin’s Lightbringer set many many years ago now… Longest time spent farming off and on… 14 years and counting for The Horseman’s Reins…

Invincible, Ravenlord, and Kara horse have eluded me for years. At one time I was farming the Ravenlord on 15 characters everyday

Oh god I’d forgot archeology. I spent a ton of time getting troll artifacts for that sword in cata. I couldn’t tell you how much but I don’t give up on stuff like that easily, normally I dig my heels in the worse it gets.

I think its the only unique artifact I don’t have up to MoP.

Since Tempest Keep was released, I’ve spent many a time trying to get the Phoenix mount from Kael’thas.

So far no luck, it’s like it doesn’t exist …

Not one item, but rather a bunch of items:

3 months or so back in Vanilla pvp’ing to get Field Marshal’s Regalia.

Main thing involved was the actual time required each week. The final week’s push required literally 40 hours of organized team pvp. It was painful. I couldn’t have sustained it the extra 4 weeks or so needed to get to Grand Marshal.

Ashes of alar since the raid released I still don’t have it. I have seen it drop once and I let my wife have it.
